Reader comments
OK, [Shy] Two young people with a fishy stench embraced each other. The author's writing brought me a youthful and romantic atmosphere. The simplicity and isolation of the small town created this beautiful scenery.
Although I don't mind living together before marriage, I see that in the end of various cohabitation lives in today's society, girls are always the ones who get hurt and suffer. I am deeply moved and educated by Hatsue, who always maintains a pure heart and persistence in herself when facing desire and pressure. Of course the male protagonist is also great. Love should be from the heart, spiritual attraction, and has nothing to do with the body. It will not cross the threshold before marriage. Even if it respects you, it is also a person who loves and cares for you. After reading this book, we should all learn from Chujiang's persistence and bravery, always maintain inner purity and rationality, never step over the edge, and protect our own physical and mental health and dignity.
Mishima Yukio's writing style is still the same, with plain words between the lines, steadily promoting the development of the plot. The most sincere love lies in the simplest words. The images of the hard-working and brave young fisherman Shinji, and the kind and beautiful haenyeo Izue who came back from overseas become more vivid and fuller between the lines. Watching the two people go from the initial throb to never giving up and moving forward hand in hand no matter how difficult it is, and when they finally achieve success, I feel sincerely happy for them.
Recommended by a friend, Yukio Mishima's grammar is exquisite. He is more like a painter than a writer. The animations of Makoto Shinkai and Hayao Miyazaki always come to mind. It is the most beautiful book I have ever read~
I was really filled with hatred when I saw the female Chiyoko and the male villain Yasuo trying every possible means to sabotage Shinji and Hatsue. Fortunately, my CP overcame all the difficulties brought to them by these two villains. When rumors spread, firmly believe in each other, firmly choose each other, do not run away, and work hard to gain the approval of the elders. Different from Yasuo's greed for life and fear of death, the brave Shinji rescued Hatsue's father in danger, once again showing their beautiful love to the world and readers.
Beautiful love always makes people yearn for it. Can the pure and brave love in youth last forever? This book tells a love story that took place on a small coastal island in Japan. Two young men and women fell in love with each other and finally got married after overcoming all difficulties. The road of love cannot be smooth sailing. The two have experienced rumors spread by others and obstruction by their elders, but they always believe in each other and keep their original intentions in mind. How valuable this is! Readers can understand a truth from the book: maintaining love requires sincerity and determination. Only two people who are full of hope for each other can have a future.
The plot of this book is simple and pure, but it is particularly touching. The love story between Shinji and Hatsue is as fresh and natural as the sea breeze, making people feel their sincere emotions. Mishima Yukio's descriptions are very delicate, such as "his eyes were always looking at the gray sky in the distance", which made me feel like I was in the story. The character's classic quote "Isn't the lighthouse master happy?" Is also impressive. In short, this is a book worth reading, it will make you believe in the beauty of love.
I think it is biased to understand Yukio Mishima through this book. But this is indeed the first Mishima book I have read.
He really knows how to describe.
Being able to read foreign language books, I think the translator also deserves a lot of credit.
A healthy and simple story of youth, which is completely different from Mishima's style, but it is also a rare masterpiece.
The emotion of a boy, the temptation of a girl, the departure of a young man...
In Mr. Mishima's writings, I saw pure love and people's search for themselves in nature!
Recommended reading, don't be fooled by the title.
It is a very beautiful love novel. Mishima Yukio uses a different writing style than usual to write a fresh and touching love story. The love between Hatsue and Shinji is really touching. Hatsue has always insisted on not breaking the rules for his wife. He is beautiful, generous, warm and kind, and Shinji is sincere, brave, filial to his mother, and understanding of the heroine. What a perfect pair. Although the two experienced the adverse effects caused by the villain Yasuo's rumors, their hearts became closer because of it. Fortunately, the heroine's father is sensible, and the people on the island also fully agree with their love. What a pity it would be otherwise.
Simple and pure, sincere and passionate
Youth, purity, cleanliness, and beautiful love remind me of Cuicui and Nuosong in the border town.
